You are the evening cloud floating in the sky of my dreams. 

I paint you and fashion you ever with my love longings. 

You are my own, my own, Dweller in my endless dreams!

Your feet are rosy-red with the glow of my heart's desire, Gleaner of my sunset songs! 

Your lips are bitter-sweet with the taste of my wine of pain. 

You are my own, my own, Dweller in my lonesome dreams!

With the shadow of my passion have I darkened your eyes, Haunter of the depth of my gaze! 

I have caught you and wrapt you, my love, in the net of my music. 

You are my own, my own, Dweller in my deathless dreams!
